LOS ANGELES — Octogenarian
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner briefly swapped his iconic silk pajamas for a tuxedo to marry
Crystal Harris, the one-time “runaway bride” who followed through this time at a New Year’s Eve
wedding.

“Happy New Year from Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hefner!” the magazine publisher tweeted early
yesterday.

The message accompanied a photograph of Hefner, 86, wearing what appeared to be purple silk
pajamas under a black bathrobe and snuggling his bride, 26, still wearing her pale-pink wedding
dress. He also wore his trademark captain’s hat.

An hour earlier, Hefner posted a picture of himself in a tuxedo with his bride under an arch of
pink and white flowers at the wedding ceremony in the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The couple tied the knot more than a year after their planned 2011 wedding was scuttled when
Harris got cold feet.

The Playmate of the Month for December 2009 jettisoned the adult-entertainment mogul in what was
called a “change of heart” five days before a lavish June 2011 wedding before 300 guests.

“Today is the day I become Mrs. Hugh Hefner,” Harris, who has a psychology degree, wrote on
Twitter after writing “Feeling very happy, lucky, and blessed.”

The San Diego native, whose parents are British, said she asked for Christmas ornaments rather
than lingerie at her pre-Christmas bridal shower to help decorate Hefner’s famed mansion.

Hefner has been married twice before. He has two children from each marriage.
